I’m calling for https://lemmy.ml/u/Beaver@lemmy.ca, the most prolific user of the transgender comm here on lemmy.ml, to be immediately unbanned and nutomic to be removed as admin. It is good and correct to leak the DMs of transphobes.

edit: you can find more info from kristinas post here and beavers post here

edit 2: proof, also beaver was banned from the whole instance modlong

edit 3: For trans people looking for a safer instance, I suggest Hexbear. They have a very active trans user base and are extremely supportive.

    man “leaked private messages” is such a weak fucking excuse in the face of transphobia. @nutomic@lemmy.ml you realize you’re just alienating a huge fucking number of comrades? not just trans people, but all those that rightfully stand with us too.

    edit: nutomic you absolutely can come back from this if you don’t double down. accept your shit, and work on it. and you know what that would be great to see, there’s not enough of that in the world.

    if not then @dessalines@lemmy.ml and other core devs, i think you have a tough decision to make. i absolutely do not envy you. though do keep in mind that handling this correctly will solidify even tighter community support behind the Lemmy project.

    we need more good comrades behind ActivityPub development :p

      Agreeing with you here, I’m wondering if this can spawn a broader project to try to alter the relationship between the admins, mods and users.

      More and better feedback loops and grassroots organisation and less “admins and mods own this, take it or leave it” culture.

      In the end, I think this comes down to poor admin/mod practice and poor community leadership where many of the users here would just like to make sure things are better.
